TAAADDAAAAAH - Sweet little owl mirror.

The mirror was find many moons ago; originally I planned to paint a design on the wood. The other week I came across the mirror again and I began to think of ways I could prettify it using crochet..and then last night I was looking at the pink owl, puff! An idea was formed.

I probably should have drawn it out first, but honestly, I'm a crack straight on kind of person, and this was the perfect project to hook while watching Midsommer Murders on Netflix. As I watched DCI Barnaby solve murder, I hooked away producing leaves and little white flowers.

Ooh the flowers I particularly was excited about; as I'd recently bought lots and lots of different stamens from Ebay, and they are so cute, a wee bit fiddly to use, but some nifty stitching and trusty hot glue gun and woohoo, soon I had flowers with pretty centres too!

The seller added a few wee glittery, shimmery butterflies to my order too, well I couldn't resist, I added a wee one, which has given me another idea for a beautiful butterfly and flower freeform piece. That one I may sketch out, mainly so I don't forgot it, so many hooky projects, just not enough time!
